Posting from a blackberry

Well, not a real blackberry but a simulatd one that I am using to test my mobile code base for a project at work. Simulated devices are fun but not really the same feel as having the device in my hand.

The blackberry has a really nice ide for making applications. It even has a nice little SVG/animation editor and theme maker. Too bad I hate the keyboards on the new one.

I guess I still wouldn't mind getting to test it out on the real device. I just hope that RIM doesn't go out of business before.

Frankly, I do not know how people actually live without a camera or touchscreen on their mobile device.

Sugar Gliders - Summit Park Mall

Today, (e:emilyjane) came to town and we went to kritterhut

in the Summit Park mall and bought the sugar gliders today. They are seriously the cutest thing I have ever seen. We got one pair and are planning on getting another one for (e:terry). I carried them home in my bonding pouch.

They say I am supposed to bond with it about 2-4 hours per day. That is a big committment compared to the attention the tortoise requires.

I am in fact not allergic to them. At least not severly, like with cats, dogs , and rabbits. Maybe it has to do with their size. I did, however, get hives whereever it dug into my arm while climbing up my to jump off the top of my head. It like to climb up real high and glide across the room. They are fast but not too fast like mouse or a hamster so they are pretty easy to catch and a lot of the time they actually seem to seek you out. Here is (e:matthew) petting his.

They make the craziest noises

::DOWNLOAD SOUND::

(e:emilyjane) ran around the part that she ran around as a kid.

Kids now-a-days like beer specials. This kids playground had a special on budweiser and hotdogs. That is the weirest thing ever.

The mall is so poor that every other store is more like a sign or statement. It makes the mall seem more liek an art gallery of sorts. Here is the former store, now happy birdthay message to jesus front.

Here is a gigantic army mural.

Christmas Eve

Christmas eve was great. I ended up not having to be Santa Claus. My parents gave my cousins kid one of those evil singing fish.

We beat up this pig with a hammer and ate it

Windows Reinstall and Satan Claws

Today was the day that windows decided it was time to reinstall. It seems like once a year it needs this happen. I think the registry just gets out of control and then everything becomes crappy. Instead of fighting with it all I just backup my data to an external drive and reinstall everything.

Even though it is annoying, I think it is a good process to follow through with for anyone that needs to use windows.

Tonight I am off to my aunt's for Chirstmas Eve. It is the first year in about 5 that (e:terry) isn't coming so he won't be dressed up as Santa Claus [inlink]paul,381[/inlink] this year. He is instead going with (e:matthew) to his aunt's house. I can't go there because they have animals. I hope this doesn't mean that I have to be Satan Claws.

Miss Kittin

So I was listening to keith's radio again I heard this song that I think i s by Miss Kitin

. At least google thinks it is. So I looked her up. I fond her website and I love it. It breaks all the traditional web design pre-conceptions I have. It kind of reminds me of something jesse would make.

At work I programmed surebert's

server side companion called poser. It transcends all of the normal security boundaries associated wih AJAX as it poses as a local page and allows you to load llive xml from anywhere on the net into your page. It even eats and forwards cookies with no effort and poses as any site on the web. It makes XML data that surebert can eat virtually limitless. I wish anyone I talked to outside of work would have any idea what I am talking about because it is pretty cool.

Crustaceans

Man what a stressfull day. At about 3PM I realized that they had shut the server down because it was acting a spam server. I was so stressed out waiting to get homeand deal with it.

Apparently, millions of aol users got spam because someone was using our email forms to send email.

I fixed it all now and now the site should be better without sending so much spam.

We are eating lots of crustaceans these days. I hope I don't go crazy from the mercury.

Cliff bars has a new peanut butter toffe flavor, yun. Also orgabic crackers were on sale at wegmans. (e:mike) and I had a crazy time trying to buy like 2 shopping carts worth of groceries with a basket.

Sprint Customer Service

I love my PPC 6700. It really can do everything I want it to. The evdo speeds on sprint are great but sprint customer service sucks really bad. Worse than any other cell phone customer Service I have ever dealt with. Both t-mobile and cingular had amazing customer service in comparison. With sprint I have had several situations where I was transferred 5+ times, each time being assurred that the next person was in fact a specialist for my phone.

Today I spent about 2 hours on the phone with them, in the end they just told me how to reset my phone. It worked. Why can't they tell you that upfront?

The Snow Party

Well happy 29th birthday to (e:hodown). I hope you had fun at your party. It looked like it the way you were popping the champagne. I am all partied out for a while.

There was lots of screaming toward the end until about 5 in the morning. I have learned my lesson about arguing with drunk polish people so I just went to bed. (e:enknot) you having amazing patience.

The baked goods were out of this world. My favs being ladycrofts yellow cookies and leetee amazing chocolate bark. You guys rock.

It was nice to see everyone, I didn't take any pictures because I was trying to be less tech more social. It's my new weekend lifestyle. I hope someone posts pictures on the site. (e:metalpeter), I will download some of your pics from ebshots and see whats up with them.
